1. People are all one kind, alike in form
Though deeds may set their lives apart

2. Some speak the truth, some falsehoods utter
In every man there is a fault

3. All men bear flaws, and feel distaste
For blemishes in other's tastes

4. The small they magnify in another's eye
Though boasting loads of their own lies

5. Content, men slumber through their days
Bewitched by worldly pleasures' haze

6. And tongues of men I've seen as snakes
Lashing out or lying in wait

7. If you avoid all idle speech
You're happiest, most blessed of each
